The surname Farquhar has an interesting history, particularly within the context of Irish descent. The name is of Gaelic origin and is derived from the Old Gaelic name "Fearchar," which translates to "dear man" or "beloved one."
The Farquhars were originally a Scottish clan, but they eventually migrated to Ireland during the 17th century. This migration was a result of various historical events, such as the Plantation of Ulster, which saw many Scottish families settle in Northern Ireland. As a result, the Farquhars established themselves in different parts of Ireland, including counties Antrim and Derry.
Over time, the pronunciation and spelling of the name changed in Ireland. It became anglicized as "Farquhar" or "Fargher." This was a common occurrence during the period, as many Gaelic names were altered to fit the English language.
The Farquhars of Irish descent played significant roles in Irish society. They were prominent landowners, businessmen, and professionals. Some members of the family even migrated to other parts of the world, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, contributing to the Irish diaspora.
Today, the surname Farquhar is still found among Irish families, serving as a testament to their rich history and heritage.
